Hi, I’m Chris—the founder of Travel Is The Point and your go-to award travel expert.
I specialize in helping people turn their credit card points and airline miles into unforgettable travel experiences. Whether you’re sitting on a stash of Chase Ultimate Rewards, Amex Membership Rewards, or frequent flyer miles, I’m here to help you get the maximum value from them—without the stress.
After years of learning the ins and outs of airline loyalty programs and credit card reward systems, I realized most people have the points—but not the time or knowledge to use them well. Booking award travel can be confusing and frustrating. I created Travel is the Point to change that.
Today, I help travelers:
Find and book award flights with points & miles
Navigate partner airline sweet spots
Plan complex itineraries including round-the-world and multi-city trips
Discover new ways to maximize rewards across programs
I don’t just give generic advice—as a points and miles expert I offer hands-on support through my award booking service to actually find and secure flights using your rewards. You’ll get recommendations based on real-world availability and expert insights that come from booking for hundreds of clients.
I stay on top of the latest changes in award charts, airline partnerships, and point transfer options—so you don’t have to.
Travelers who are overwhelmed by airline programs
Families looking to stretch their points farther
Couples booking a dream honeymoon
Business travelers wanting to fly premium without the premium price tag
Anyone who wants to stop hoarding points and actually use them
If you’ve been collecting points but don’t know how to use them—or you’ve tried and hit a wall—I’m here to help. I’ll take care of the search and booking, so you can focus on the trip.
